• Cyrus Beene : [to Mellie about the news broadcast]  This is amazing. Astounding. Amazing. I don't know how the hell they found out about that ring, but she's actually managed to go from being a slut, to an every-woman, to your sister-wife in under 48 hours. I didn't even know that was possible.

  Michael : [opening the curtains]  What did we say about staying up all night? What did we say about keeping a schedule? Didn't we agree that we felt better when we slept and and took a shower?

  Cyrus Beene : [eyes glued to the TV]  Shh, shh, shh. I want to hear.

  Michael : We talked about this. We talked about keeping it together, didn't we?

  Cyrus Beene : We talked about the fact that the senate voted last night. We talked about that this is a remarkable and uncommon day. That is what we did. So now I am not taking my eyes off that TV!

  Michael : Alright, it's a bug day, it's your Super Bowl. I get it.

  Cyrus Beene : Okay, the Super Bowl that happens every year. This is the moon landing. The Berlin wall is coming down. Hannibal's crossing the Alps. This is the day the Lord has made and he's... made it for me. Do you understand?

  Cyrus Beene : The job is Chief of Staff. That's the job. Elizabeth North is terminated immediately. She doesn't transition to another position in the administration. She's gone. I will keep Ethan and Red. I want new carpet in that office. You will issue a full presidential pardon to me for any and all crimes committed in the time of my service to you. It will be signed. It will be sealed. It will be non-revocable. And I *will* keep it secret. That's the deal.

  Cyrus Beene : [sitting back down]  The situation in West Angola was an urgent and growing threat to the national security of the United States. Your decision to go to war was based solely on a methodical and reasonable assessment of that threat, and was supported by actionable intelligence. You never saw that tape of Olivia Pope. You did not know it existed. You were never aware she was even kidnapped.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : It's good to have you back, Cy.

  Cyrus Beene : I serve at the pleasure of the president. The honor is all mine.

  President Fitzgerald Grant : Charlotte, please ask Elizabeth North to come to my office.
